It’s Day 2 of my 3-day water fast, and I won’t lie—this is when the game changes.
Woke up feeling…not terrible. Not amazing either. More like a tired monk who can’t stop thinking about Ramen. I dreamed of the taste of the lightly fried pork belly. . This is where the mental part kicks in. The initial excitement from Day 1 wears off, and what’s left is discipline and caffeine. Just water, black coffee, and herbal tea. That’s it.
My body is now shifting into deeper ketosis, confirmed by another scan with the KetoScan.

Autophagy, for those new to this, is your body’s way of spring cleaning. Old, damaged cells are broken down and recycled. It’s one of the real benefits of fasting—and it kicks in around the 36-48 hour mark. That means my body isn’t just burning fat—it’s actually repairing itself. Think of it as a biological tune-up.
The weird thing is how your senses sharpen. Smells become amplified. I walked past someone unwrapping a granola bar, and it hit me like a Thanksgiving dinner. My stomach grumbled a bit, but I also felt calm. Clear-headed. I journaled. I took a walk. I didn’t collapse.
The hardest part wasn’t hunger—it was boredom. You don’t realize how much time you spend planning, cooking, and eating food until you just…stop. With nothing to distract me, I had to sit with myself. Not always fun, but necessary.
That’s what this is really about: awareness. Discipline. Ownership. When you remove one of your biggest comforts—food—you get to meet the version of yourself that doesn’t hide behind it. That dude is brutally honest.
Tonight, I’ll go to bed early. I always do on Day 2. It’s like my body says, “Alright, if we’re not eating, we’re conserving.” I’ll listen.
If Day 1 was initiation, Day 2 is the test.
